    Case Summary: WPA 660/2026 - Parbati Murmu v. State of West Bengal Decision: The High Court set aside the District Inspector's February 12, 2026 memorandum rejecting the petitioner's transfer application solely on grounds of Utsashree portal suspension. The court held that temporary suspension of online facilities cannot curtail statutory transfer rights and directed the Inspector to process the offline application within six weeks, with the West Bengal Central School Service Commission to act within four weeks thereafter. Key Reasoning: The court applied the principle that mere suspension of facilities cannot repeal statutory provisions or curtail statutory rights, compelling the State to process applications manually through prescribed procedures even when portals are unavailable. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
